End of “Raise the Floor” Block

Last 2 weeks of the block had to be compressed into training 5 days in a row (Monday to Friday) due to weekend commitments. Not ideal for squats, but seemed to be okay for deadlifts and bench. Videos in order of which I’m happiest with atm.

Squat: 210kg x4 @ 8.5
My squat is straight buns at this bodyweight. My spine is pretty shit too. But the silver lining is I’m getting good at 8s on squats (not sure if that’s really a good thing though…)

Benchpress: 170kg x2 @ 10 (PR for current bodyweight)
@lymanzjy saying it looked like an easy single until I went for the 2nd rep.

Deadlifts: 285kg x3 @ 10 (ATPR)
Only went for it since @aphid_lift had it loaded already and I was tempted to bitch out and drop to 280-282.5kg. Felt strong and didn’t need to stim myself up too much. Just need to execute. Definitely a 10 though.

BW: 75.9kg

And now to focus on @wnbfsingapore weekend with 2 clients competing and running a @lftoffathletics booth! Then into a more bodybuilding focused block cause of the 2 week trip down to Melbourne in November.

Clash at the Collective Comp III

This comp exceeded my expectations and was just everything I needed. Hitting 9/9 for the first time in years and hitting a x3 BW DL.

@victor.uplift for being in my corner. Couldn’t have done this without you. We freaking did it !
@joshualuu for stepping in and handling me and dealing with my crash outs all year. Appreciate you🫶

Southern Showdown 2026 🦈

Bit of a chaotic lead up to comp, with a wedding the night before in Melb and then taking a 7am flight to Hobart the next morning. Competed off 3 hours sleep but what even are externals 🤪

A massive thank you to @victor.uplift for being my guiding light and coach. And to @coachfrankbas_ @frankbascetta_ who’s been my nutrition coach for the last few months to help me fill out the 69kg class, the improvements have been astounding I really would be lost your guidance 🥹

Squat: 112.5 / 120 / 125kg (+7.5kg comp PB)
Bench: 80 / 85 (+5 comp PB)/ 90X
Deadlift: 152.5 / 165 (-5kg PB)/ 172.5X
Total: 375kg (+12.5) @ 67.4kg

Guess we’re entering my forearm bodybuilding arc 💪

🐍 SOUTHERN SHOWDOWN II 🐍

Lucky comp number 13 - survived my first acute weight cut, made weight lol (IYKYK), 9/9 lifts made, no red lights, comp PBs in all aspects, edged the Nationals QT and redeemed myself after June while also exceeding my own expectations.

While qualifying for Nationals was never the goal, this was the super-meet I needed and I feel so proud to finally be sitting this close to the Nationals QT, something that once seemed impossible and out of reach.

SQ 122.5kg (+2.5kg PB)
BP 67.5kg (+2.5kg PB)
DL 157.5kg (+5kg PB)

TOTAL 347.5kg (+15kg PB)

BW 56.90kg (57kg class)
GL 81.62 (+3.63)

@victor.uplift, thank you for riding the waves with me, for teaching me the value of doing hard shit and always challenging me to be the best athlete I can be. A special mention to assistant coach @charles_rpblk - thank you both for all that you do 🧡

Big shout out to my girl, @angievellaa. Thank you for your company and emotional support this whole trip, going above and beyond to make sure I am well taken care of leading into comp - carrying all the heavier bags, the constant reassurance, the non-verbal time, the "what can I do to support you?" and all the laughs that made everything feel a little lighter 💕

Friends, thank you for the overwhelming amount of love and kindness that I felt this weekend, both at home and in the crowd. It was also a fun time prepping, training and competing with the @nexusperformance.melb crew - apologies and big thanks to everyone who had to deal with my recent crash outs, y'all are awesome 🫶

Thank you @compoundtn x @stronghold_ballarat and all volunteers involved for hosting this event. This was my second time competing at Southern Showdown and you guys really stepped it up. Same time next year? 😎
